Adaptive Feeding Equipment

I was at a party last night which was attended by many people who work with adults with intellectual disabilities. At some point the conversation turned to options for specialized feeding equipment for some of their clients. They were looking for cups or straws that slow down drinking, among other items. We looked at pictures of one way straw valves, nosy cups and flo-trol cups and discussed the possibilities. During the discussion I realized a slide show of options like that I have posted for dynamic display AAC and switches might be helpful. So here you are pictures of assistive technology for eating including feeding devices, cups, drink bottles, forks, spoons, knives, plates and bowls:

  1. Hi there, the drink bottles with the straws coming from the bottom - any ideas where you can get those - or their name. I haven't had any luck finding them.

  2. You can find them at places like Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart. I don't know what they are called.
